Trump is even further gone than we thought
As one witness from the Trump administration after another comes forward to testify to the House impeachment committee about Donald Trump’s crimes, it’s becoming clear that he has no easy way out of this. Now Trump is demonstrating that when it comes to trying to craft a defense for himself, he’s even further gone than we thought.
Here’s what Trump tweeted about the tsunami of testimony: “Democrats are allowing no transparency at the Witch Hunt hearings. If Republicans ever did this they would be excoriated by the Fake News. Let the facts come out from the charade of people, most of whom I do not know, they are interviewing for 9 hours each, not selective leaks.”
To be clear, the people who have testified thus far include U.S. Envoy Kurt Volker, who was appointed by Trump; former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, who was nominated by Trump and then later illegally fired by Trump; and former National Security Council official Fiona Hill, who worked directly for Trump for two and a half years. His position is that he doesn’t know these people.
Either Donald Trump is telling the kind of lie that he knows can be easily disproven, or he’s honestly forgotten these people. Either way, he’s further gone than we thought.
